Nashville Rash Lyrics

Help me Merle, Iím breakiní out in a Nashville rash
Itís a-looking like Iím fallin in the cracks
Iím too country now for country, just like Johnny Cash
Help me Merle, Iím breakiní out in a Nashville rash

Shoulda known it when they closed the Opry down
Things are bound to change in that town
You canít grow when you rip the roots out of the ground
Looks like that Nashville rash is gettingí Ďround

Chorus

Ainít it funny how things can really change
Rock and roll back in the 70ís are country hits today
Breaks my heart to see my heros fadiní away
The victims of Nashville rash, itís Nashvilleís ways

Chorus 2:

Help me Merle, Iím breakiní out in a Nashville rash
Itís a-looking like Iím fallin in the cracks
Iím too country now for country, just like Johnny Cash
And Buck Ownes and Faron Young and Johnny Bush
Ad Johnny Paycheck and Charley Pride and Loretta Lynn, Mmmmmmm
Help me Merle, Iím breakiní out in a Nashville rash
